Lin Raosheng has always been a nobody in the prestigious Clear Heavens Sect. Born without a dantian to cultivate qi, he was relegated to the life of a mere cleaner—sweeping courtyards and scrubbing floors while the disciples soared to greatness. But unknown to everyone, Lin possesses a rare and long-lost ability: he can see and interact with spirits. While most people dismiss him as eccentric for talking to himself, Lin knows better—spirits are everywhere, whispering secrets of the past and lurking within the sect's hallowed halls. Some are mischievous, others wise, and a few... dangerous. However, his gift has never helped him in the one place he needs it most—his mother's death. He knows she was murdered, but her spirit remains nowhere to be found, leaving him with unanswered questions and an aching heart. Everything changes when, during a grand sect event, Lin accidentally collides with Lord Xu Tian, a feared and revered immortal cultivator. In the chaos, Lin unintentionally reveals that he can see a beautiful, playful spirit who has been following Xu Tian for centuries—an existence even the powerful immortal was unaware of. Lord Xu Tian gifts Lin a token and a set of scrolls, revealing that Lin's ability is linked to an ancient and forbidden cultivation path—Spirit Cultivation, a power feared and eradicated long ago by qi cultivators. To forge his destiny, Lin must contract spirits, cultivate his spiritual power, and unlock his true potential... All while trying to uncover the truth about his mother's murder...

Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.
